Lauitiiti signs to the ESL

It has been officially announced that former NZ Warriors has signed on the dotted line with an English Super League Club.

The identity of the club will not be released until next week.

The former Warrior finalised details of his contract overnight but an official announcement on where the 25 year old will play will not be made until next Monday.

Wigan, St Helens and the Bradford Bulls are understood to be in line to win his services.

A total of 14 clubs from England and Australia were all interested in signing the 2002 Dally M second rower of the year since his surprise split with the Auckland based club last week.
